*The OFFICIAL February 2012 Thread!*

We're here! We arrived on Thurs night. I went to Superbowl Village and Disney World in the same day!!!! SO cool! Saw a TON of cheerleaders/dancers taking the ME to the values (like at least 5 groups of 30) when I was waiting for my ME. Haven't really noticed them in the parks in groups bigger than 6ish. Seems they break up during the day, which is good.

Anyway... We've done 2 park days so far. Fri we went to MK. It was more crowded than I was anticipating, but nothing too bad. I am hearing more foreign languages being spoken than english as I pass people. Wait times were around 20 mins for everything. Didn't even fast pass anything!

Sat, we went to EC. Wait times were about 50 mins for everything. We fast passed wisely and rode everything we wanted. We ate at Le Cellier for a late lunch and weren't even hungry for dinner - mmmmm so good!. We finally got DD something to eat during illuminations. She was SO tired when we got back to WL. Checked my pedometer... we'd walked 11.85 miles on Saturday alone!!!!

We've had free wi-fi at our hotel (Wilderness Lodge). We've been streaming netflix to our laptop at night. :-)

Guess I'm gonna journal some notes now... maybe I'll do a trip report in a couple of weeks!

Sounds like a great trip so far. Have a magical time!
 

I finished the last of my trip shopping this morning. After today I have 1 more day off to get things done before we go. I have to work 6 days in a row up until the day before we go. I've got so much to do. I need to start packing. The ticker says it all.
 
We board our plane on Friday evening! Time to switch into high gear and start packing our non-clothing items!
 
Ahhh, of course the gods hate me.... Started feeling a little weird last night....
and now, well now I'm just flat out SICK! I haven't been sick in long time.... :worried:
I tell ya, if it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any at all...

 
Aww, sorry Taco! But hey at least you're sick now instead of in 5 days, right? You still have time to get better! We all had a horrible stomach bug that made us all so sick starting last Thursday, but after my dd had it, I was actually hoping that we would all get it and get it over with. Wish granted and now we're all feeling MUCH better! Wishing you a speedy recovery, get lots of rest!

I'm so sorry to hear that! Try to relax as much as possible, you should have plenty of time to be back on your feet before the 11th. What are you sick with? Cold? Stomach bug? Get well SOON!

Thanks you two,,, my throat started hurting last night, work up coughing, sore throat, and some sinus congestion... Heading to bed now, after a day of rest and lots of vitamins... Hoping that it doesn't get any worse... :sick:
 
INSANE!!! We have been counting down for 711 days and we leave in 13 DAYS!!! We are staying at POFQ and I can online check-in in 3 days!!!! Anyone going to be at FQ the 19th through the 27th? I am nervous about resort construction and MK crowds with SOOO many refurbs!! But, hey...IM GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!:banana:

Aww...how terrible. :sad2: Stay positive, though...5 full days to feel better should be doable. Make sure you stay super hydrated, keep up with those vitamins, go to bed a little earlier than usual and if nothing else, you can load up on meds if you're not feeling well by the time the 11th rolls around. Worst case scenario, you may need to take it easy on your first park day with a slower pace and lots of extra feel better snacks. :love::woohoo: But, you should at least "feel" fine early on in your trip even if you have congestion still. When I get sick, after a few days I feel fine but I still sound horrible and have a lot of congestion and drainage. You'll be okay! :hug:
 
TacoBaco...run out and buy Cold-Eeze lozenges!!! I just read that they really do seem to help shorten a cold if taken when first symptoms appear (usually a sore throat). You have to suck on 6 per day, 1 every 3 hours or so. I am going to buy some just to have on hand for my next cold.
 
Not to much longer! Spent all weekend at different stores buying travel essentials and misc things. Spent the entire super bowl creating an autograph book, custom tees for dh and I and making Mickey garland to decorate our hotel window. This is going to be a busy week!

Oh wanted to let moms and dads know with all the rain in the forcast we went looking for a youth sized umbrella for our DD and found $8 Disney ones at sears! they had all kinds for boys and girls! We snagged a tinker bell!

That’s kinda how my colds go,,, the nasty stuff, goes away pretty quickly, but then its usually a week or two, of sinus stuff and coughing.... Today I feel about the same, not really any better.... BUT, not really any worse.. I wish I didn't have to work, so I could just stay home and sleep all day... But here I am at work,, :guilty: at least its a desk job!

I think I've done the cold-eeze before, they do help... just lots of vitamins...

I can't believe our 10 day forcast... It looks like we're gonna see some of the cooler tempatures, which is ok with me... cause I like hoodies!

It's hard to believe our trip is only 5 nights away.... :lovestruc
